“I believe there are over 600 Amtrak stations across this country. They are putting in place the kind of security we want, to make certain that no terrorist will see a target of opportunity in the metroliners or Amtrak trains that crisscross America. But we would be remiss to believe that passing a bill on aviation security takes care of our obligation, our responsibility. Beyond that, we have to look to the traveling public and other vulnerabilities. I agree with my colleagues who also have Amtrak service that we need to give to Amtrak the resources and the authority to make certain they can upgrade their security and take a look at a lot of their vulnerable infrastructure.”
